Reducing Our Environmental Impact – New EV Charger

We are committed to reducing our environmental impact while enhancing our guests’ experience. To support greener travel, we are delighted to announce the addition of an electric vehicle (EV) charger at our holiday cottage in the stunning YorkshireDales. This new amenity allows our guests to explore the beautiful surroundings with the convenience of eco-friendly transportation, ensuring a more sustainable and
enjoyable stay for all.

Chemical Usage

The health of our ecosystem is a top priority. That’s why we’ve minimised the use of harmful chemicals, particularly in our cleaning products. This not only reduces pollution but also ensures a safer environment for our guests and local wildlife.

Native Tree Plantation

We’ve taken proactive steps to preserve and restore the local environment by planting 1.5 acres of native trees. This initiative supports the wildlife corridor within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, providing a sanctuary for a diverse range of species while combating climate change.

Supporting Local Trades

By sourcing materials and services from local tradespeople, we reduce transportation-related emissions and invest in the local economy. It’s a win-win that benefits both the environment and our community.

Reusing Materials

Sustainability is at the core of our renovation practices. Wherever possible, we reuse
materials, reducing waste and conserving resources.

Wildlife-Friendly Initiatives

Our holiday cottage is a haven for local wildlife. From bird nesting boxes andfarmland for ground-nesting birds to providing safe spaces for plants and animals, we
actively support biodiversity.

Green Energy Usage

Our barn conversion, located next door, operates on green energy powered by solarpanels and air source technology. This means that your holiday, including the energy
used for towels and other amenities, is backed by renewable energy.

Waste Management

We encourage responsible waste disposal by providing recycling bins for guests andcomposting organic waste. The compost generated is used in our gardens, creating a
sustainable cycle.

Home-Grown Produce

Sustainability extends to our gardens, where we grow our own vegetables and fruits. This fosters local biodiversity and provides fresh, eco-friendly produce.

Insect-Friendly Features

Our insect hotel, crafted from recycled materials, offers a welcoming habitat for beneficial insects, contributing to the health of our ecosystem.

Promoting Wildlife

We’ve planted wildlife-friendly flowers and promote nearby nature-related attractions to create an environment where wildlife can thrive.

Educational Initiatives

We continuously learn about local flora and fauna through expert talks and share this knowledge with guests via nature spotter books. This ensures everyone can connect
with and appreciate the environment.

Active Transport Promotion

To encourage eco-friendly travel, we provide secure cycle storage, walking and cycling guides, and information about nearby public transport options, including a
convenient bus stop.

Energy-Efficient Infrastructure

Our cottage features LED lighting, dual flush toilets, aerated shower heads, and enhanced insulation, all designed to minimise energy consumption without
compromising comfort.

Renewable Energy Tariff

Our commitment to green energy is further reinforced by using a renewable energy tariff to power the property.
